Research themes

Ruşen has published various academic articles on advertising, new media (social media) and computer-mediated communication. Her future individual project aims to identify the predictors of adolescents’ intention in METAVERSE gaming. The core aspect is to investigate the impact of individuality traits on the gaming intention of adolescents (extreme vs regular users) using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).

Project title Understanding the antecedences of adolescents’ gaming intention (behaviour) in METAVERSE.
Keywords METAVERSE, gaming, technology acceptance, peer influence, perceived social presence, media effects, computer-mediated communication.
Years of completion estimated 2 years
General project description

With the emergence of METAVERSE, gaming companies have been urged and responding aggressively to confirm their spatial presence in this new uncharted sphere. The unprecedented situation is expected to cause a major curiosity among adolescents into the new digital gaming platform leading to a massive shift of interest from existing gaming systems into METAVERSE gaming.

The sheer power of the gaming industry concerns parents significantly due to the industry’s extensive and irrepressible monitoring abilities of its young users. Although the current focus is on the technological advances of METAVERSE, shifting our focus to the prospective target will surely help to prepare adolescents for this extraordinary and inevitable experience.

This research aims to be a pioneer investigating the potential fundamental underlying factors leading to adolescents’ gaming intention (behaviour) in METAVERSE. A thorough and more in-depth analysis will be employed using the potential mediator and moderator models in SEM (e.g., heavy VR gaming, deficient self-regulation, hedonic motivation, state aggression, seeking affiliation, social presence, and peer influence) based on the technology acceptance (TAM) and self-generated media effects theories.

Ultimately, this research’ results will provide parents and institutions with a framework for solid regulations over gaming in METAVERSE.
